A rare opportunity for the discerning buyer who loves the look and feel of new construction but wants the freedom of living without HOA restrictions or fees. Set in sought-after Upper Merion Township, this extraordinary custom residence was personally designed and lightly lived in by an experienced designer-builder, with each detail selected to bring together timeless style, fine craftsmanship, modern technology, and everyday comfort. Reclaimed brick, natural stone, standing-seam metal roof accents, custom garage doors, bluestone details, Azek trim, Fypon columns, stamped Old World-style walkways, and black Andersen architectural windows create curb appeal you will remember. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer opens to soaring ceilings, oversized windows, Bellawood maple hardwood floors, Restoration Hardware lighting, crystal fixtures, upgraded millwork, and a floor-to-ceiling Castle Gate thin-brick wall that continues through the main living area and into the basement. Two flexible first-floor rooms are ready for offices, a library, fitness room, or play space. At the heart of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen with double-stacked soft-close cabinetry, a massive dual-waterfall island with Viscount White granite, full-height granite backsplash, Delta touch faucets, custom CooperSmith hood, walk-in pantry, and professional Dacor appliances including steam/convection ovens, a 48-inch gas cooktop with griddle and wok, column refrigerator and freezer, wine preservation system, and Liebherr dual-zone wine tower. A butler’s area with glass cabinetry and a four-bottle wine dispensing station adds another special touch for entertaining. The open great room features a Napoleon Allure linear fireplace, custom built-ins with leathered granite, surround sound, and wide views of the backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite becomes your private retreat with tray ceilings, crystal lighting, a color-changing Napoleon fireplace, oversized custom closets, and a 20-foot all-season balcony enclosed with Andersen sliding windows. The spa-style bath features a two-person smart Jacuzzi with waterfalls, speakers and multicolor lighting, dual rain showers, frameless glass, dual vanities, heated towel bar, and natural slate. The fully fenced, level backyard offers custom aluminum gates, solar post lighting, a gas grilling line, and space for a future pool, outdoor kitchen, or custom patio. Built for comfort and efficiency with 2x6 construction, Superior Walls foundation, Zip System sheathing, spray foam insulation, dual-zone Bryant HVAC, concealed fire sprinklers, smart lighting, security cameras, CAT5 wiring, and whole-home audio prewiring. A partially finished basement adds about 1,800 sq. ft. ready for your vision, bringing the home to approximately 5,200 sq. ft. when completed. Best of all, enjoy the King of Prussia lifestyle with easy access to world-class shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation, parks, and major routes. Custom quality, modern luxury, location, and freedom from an HOA come together in a home that is truly hard to replace. Seller can settle ASAP!

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
